Who wears short shorts? We wear short shorts!

I bought these AMAZING little shorts from ASOS at the weekend and I was so excited for them to arrive! I ordered them in a size 8 and a size 10, as I had an unfortunate incident with a pencil skirt recently*... but I tried them on and the size 8 fit perfectly! (if not a little big around the back, but don't all girls have that problem with shorts and trousers?)
I adore the funky spots and stripes pattern and can't wait to go to Oxegen festival in July and wear these little beauties with some long socks and wellies! I'd lusted after them for months (ish) but eventually bought them in the sale for the bargain price of £17.50. Summer staple. Linky!

*The unfortunate incident with the pencil skirt basically entailed me ordering a high waisted work skirt from ASOS in a size 8, which is 99% of the time my size for my bottom half (I'm most definitely a 10 on top!). Unfortunately it seems that ASOS accidentally labelled this skirt an 8 instead of a 6 or a 4, as I couldn't even zip it up halfway! And before you go asking 'who ate all the pies?' (lol) I fit very nicely into several other skirts that I'd ordered, all in size 8. But it did leave me a little shaken up and dented the old ego a fair bit.

I wanna see your Peacock!

Hello lovely people! Apologies for it being over a week since my last post, but Blogger was being all angsty through the week so this post about the new bits I got from Peacocks is a little delayed!
First up are these C-U-T-E floral denim shorts! I thought these were so adorable on the site, and look more Topshop than Peacocks! An absolute bargain at £10.67 as I got them on offer, they're still for sale for £16. I've already worn them out with simple green flats, a white vest & the cardi I also got from PeacocksLinky!
This is that cardigan! I'm not much of a 'pink' person but think this coral/pink colour is really lovely and it looks fab next to my porcelain skin! It's perfect for cool Spring afternoons and will look great thrown over a little dress to keep the wind off. I got it for £12 but it's on sale for £18, still a good deal! Linky!
I fell head over heels for this amazing green formal dress when I saw it! It reminded me so much of the dress that Zooey Deschenal wears in 500 Days of Summer (in the wedding scene) - so I bought it and wore it to  my friend's wedding last weekend! It's beautiful, if a little pricey at £30, I got it for £20. Linky!
Another gorgeous dress - this is by Pearl Lowe at Peacocks and was much more expensive than almost all my other dresses but I am besotted with it. It's made from a lush chiffon-y fabric, and the cream tone is just perfect to wear in the Spring! It even has a little satin slip to wear underneath attached! I bought it for £26, on sale for £40. Linky!
The last dress I bought - 100% cotton, fabulous pale teal/green colour and unique pattern! Plus it fits me like a glove which is always nice! Basic summer dress, a bargain at £12 but still on sale for £18. Linky!
I also bought this basic white sleeveless blouse as I've been after one for a few weeks but didn't want to pay Topshop prices! I've already worn it out with high waisted jeans, and again with my black pleated midi skirt. Love it. I got mine for £10, still on sale for £16. I'm tempted to buy the gorgeous rust-y colour now! Linky!
Last but not least are these divine little blue polka dot pumps! I'm such a sucker for shoes, especially cute ones! Cheap as chips for £9, limited stock still available for £14. Linky!
